Tinsel and Woes

The only thing worse to me than putting up the Christmas tree is taking down the Christmas tree. Don't have any time to be blogging, but still I must keep up my "blog every day this month" promise, so here it is. My husband loves Christmas and everything about it. I would like to celebrate it maybe in March? Too much to do, too much to eat, just too much. Of course the true meaning of Christmas is the reason we celebrate, but the rest of the stuff is just a pain in the hiney. One thing I remember about my childhood is the stupid aluminum tree we had. UGLY. Then I find out that my husband LOVES those trees. I saw one in an antique shop window last week and so I thought, hey, throw some blue balls on that thing, plug up the color wheel and he will be happy, happy, happy. So, I pull in and guess how much they want for that monstrosity? $175!!!!! Yes, you read that correctly, one hundred and seventy-five dollars. That includes a free color wheel....so here I am today decorating my fake green tree as always...
